Hi Members,
I''m a newbie to your forum, though I''ve read your posts for several weeks. I really enjoy your feedback! And I''ve certainly gotten a great education from just reading.
I''m getting ready to propose (on New Year''s Eve, I think!) and I have a question about settings. My lovely little lady (really - 5''2", 105 lbs, ring size 4 1/2) likes pave diamonds either on the shank of a white gold setting, or around the center stone itself as a bezel. The only problem is that she''s only seen that look on samples of smaller stones, because I didn''t want her to know that I intend to get her a larger one. She''s seen 0.5 to 0.9 carat stones, and I''m looking at 1.2 to 1.6 carat stones. I want to get an H&A cut, and G color, VS quality to really surprise her. But I''m worried about the larger stone PLUS surrounding diamonds possibly being too big for her slender finger.
Does anyone here on the forum have either experience or opinions about this? I''ve included a scan of one such setting from Excel Diamonds as an example. Many thanks!
